The Bartender’s Pantry
by Jim Meehan
James Beard Award Winner • Spirited Award Winner

From the acclaimed author of Meehan’s Bartender Manual, The Bartender’s Pantry explores the art and science of the ingredients that give cocktails their soul. Jim Meehan—renowned for his work at Gramercy Tavern, The Pegu Club, and PDT—joins forces with designer Bart Sasso, writer Emma Janzen, and photographer AJ Meeker to celebrate the unsung heroes of great drinks: the sugars, spices, grains, herbs, teas, and ferments that bring balance and depth to every sip.

Part reference, part inspiration, and part visual feast, this book is both a deep dive for hospitality professionals and a treat for curious home cooks. With striking illustrations, ingredient insights, and over 100 recipes from some of the world’s most creative bartenders, it’s a masterclass in flavor that bridges the worlds of bar and kitchen.

As Portland’s new James Beard Market opens nearby—and with our city’s love of craft food and drink—it feels fitting to feature this James Beard Award–winning title. The Bartender’s Pantry celebrates the creativity, collaboration, and curiosity that make Portland (and good cocktails) thrive.
